Valdano and Álvaro Benito on Mourinho’s Madrid: “85% of the players are chaos players”

Jorge Valdano and Álvaro Benito dissected the nature of Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid, with their assessment encapsulated by this line: “85% of the players are chaos players.” The two former Real Madrid players spoke on Movistar Plus Deportes ahead of the three-week league break.
Mourinho’s Real Madrid have played eight official matches across LaLiga and the Champions League. In the Portuguese coach’s second spell at the club, his record is six wins and two defeats.
Valdano believes the club faces two options: keep talking about referees or address its difficulties. He said there were “20 days” to correct problems that he considers recurrent at Real Madrid.
The former player also highlighted the side’s vulnerabilities away from home: in four away matches, the team lost two and won the other two after the 90th minute. In his view, the pressing problems remain, while the play lacked clarity in the first half until the ball went through Güler.
Álvaro Benito, for his part, said Madrid could become “an ultra-competitive team,” while stressing that it is not one yet at this stage. From a defensive standpoint, he insisted on the need for a compact team capable of defending in order to win the ball back and then run.
A Real Madrid player from 1995 to 2002, Álvaro Benito had to end his football career in 2003 because of injuries. He also examined the style that Mou is trying to implement during his second spell at Madrid.
